At the nucleus of Flying Pig Auction’s next sale is the Western Massachusetts ESTATE of two retired Special Ed teachers.

From their Tiffany and Pairpoint lamps, magnificent chandeliers and other antique lighting to their fine china, art glass and sterling silver flatware to their Victorian furniture and Oriental Rugs plus all manner of additional antiques and collectibles; they never lost their passion and continually added; never selling anything. We are pleased to offer their 50 year accumulation at UNRESERVED AUCTION.
